This funding supported me, Rom Walton, and Charlie Fenton.<br />
We're now working on other things, although we'll stay involved in BOINC at some level.<br />
<br />
The BOINC project will continue, and will be run according to a community-based model rather than centrally.<br />
In essence, the people who contribute to BOINC now make the decisions about it.<br />
This model is summarized here: <a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectGovernance" rel="nofollow">http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectGovernance</a> and described in detail here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C6pU5RqidYBxk9oyAevm1yH1tn4Hw27oM8YpvsnR-gg" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C6pU5RqidYBxk9oyAevm1yH1tn4Hw27oM8YpvsnR-gg</a><br />
<br />
There will probably be little visible change.<br />
The BOINC software will continue to work.<br />
The translation system, Alpha testing project, BOINC web site,message boards, and email lists will continue to operate.<br />
However, any new development and major bug fixes to BOINC will need to be done by volunteer programmers.<br />
I'm confident that the BOINC community will meet the challenge.<br />
<br />
I welcome your feedback.<br />
Please post it to <a href="mailto:boinc_admin@googlegroups.com">boinc_admin@googlegroups.com</a>, a new email list for discussions about the BOINC project as a whole.<br />
